Anyone tried this on linux? I downloaded and installed java runtime environment 1.3.1 and unzipped both fiddle_0_7_3.zip and fiddle_libraries.zip in the same directory, but only get:

Code:

$ java -jar fiddle.jar 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lcom/barbre/fiddle/MainFrame;
        at com.barbre.fiddle.Fiddle.main(Fiddle.java:174)
        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke0(Method.java:nativ  e)
        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:256)
        at kaffe.jar.ExecJarName.main(ExecJarName.java:66)
        at kaffe.jar.ExecJar.main(ExecJar.java:71)

Any ideas?

You can't change the color yet, but you can put an EQ screenshot as the background. Linux: No clue. I don't use linux but since it can't find the MainFrame I'd say that some environment variable isn't set right. I have no clue what to look for though. You run EQ on linux?

I tried Linux, but the maintenance and lack of professional documentation (the docs for my modem said "your modem sucks"), and horrible install procedures killed it for me. I noticed you are running Kaffe. Is it 1.3.1 compatible? I haven't ever used it. Update: I just checked the Kaffe website. It links to a compatibility site that indicates it is 100% NOT compatible with Java Swing. Try using the Sun JVM instead. Last edited by Ambros : 03-13-2003 at 07:43 PM.

drylar A Gray Wolf Join Date: Apr 2003 Server: Xev Posts: 9	Ok. Here's what I've done and what it's (not) doing. I installed the Java runtimes, then fiddle. I attempted to run it, and got a bunch of errors, checked the faq, then got the runtimes. (There are a few of us that DO check them!) I downloaded and installed the runtimes. All seemed fine and dandy, I chose the correct folder, and it fired up. I went and chose a skin, nothing happened (other than the radio button showed I had selected it.) I tried 'load screen', nada. On the listbox, I tried selecting 'PlayerWindow' and the status line said 'parsing d:\everquest\uifiles/EQ_Animations.xml' then it slid off the status bar, and nothing happened. I see no change in anything, other than the file selected now says PlayerWindow. None of the skins load anything, and I see the same parsing message whenever I attempt to load any file. It just never populates the element list. Am I missing something? Or did I do something wrong. ...I just went and reinstalled it all over again... no change. ...I just tried 0.7.2 and 0.7.1 and they do the same thing, and it appears that it does something (too quick to read) before getting stuck at parsing the animations file. Any ideas? It looks much more promising than SidlWidl, and would like to see something that is still active replace it. I'm not a fan of abandonware. -Drylar, Vah Shir Shaman on Xev

Adamax A Ghoul Join Date: Nov 2002 Server: Bertoxxilous Posts: 12	Ok...got it to work with WinXP (512MB ram) and Java 1.4.1 after fiddling (no pun intended) around a bit. Very impressive for a beta. There are a couple things I'd like to see changed/added... 1). Gamma Correction is still having problems displaying window/element. Change the default GUI interface background to another color instead of black or add a user selectable color??? 2). Add "Save AS" to file menu so that window/elements being worked on can be saved to a new location. "Copy XML file" doesn't allow for renaming XML file. 3). Add double-click to elements so they auto-launch the open screen GUI for that element (or window). 4). Add grouping of elements together using the left mouse button. That way you can move individual elements as a group. 5). "Load Background Image" defaults to the "My Documents" directory each time you launch the command. Change it to load from user-defined directory where image files are stored. Keep up the good work, Adamax Neeve 61 Oracle Bertoxxulous Server

Ambros A Tundra Mammoth Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 62	Thanks I like your suggestions. I'll see if I can add them before too long. Although, since I don't have EQ any longer I never know if they have changed SIDL. As long as they don't I can still work on the program.

Grymm A Fire Beetle Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 2	well after he quit eq, the support wasn't there for him to keep working on it... it does work and can take awhile to get it working just need to keep at it... if more users were willing to provide support in form of a donation to make it less of a loss for him, time, resources and such he would be willing to keep working on it... __________________ My Anger is a Gift!!!
